“I bought it.”

Before Zhou Mo could speak, Han Chen spoke first.

Zhou Mo was shocked, but he only dared to look at Han Chen secretly.

"You bought it? So many..." Liu Xiangru was so surprised that she couldn't speak. "I saw there were also flyers for purchasing on behalf of others in the box. Momo has been a purchasing agent before--"

"I bought it," Han Chen touched the tip of his nose and hesitantly said, "I asked a friend to order it from overseas. I accidentally bought too much."

“…” Liu Xiangru seemed to understand something, but also seemed confused.

Liang Xinyun, who was standing by, noticed Han Chen's awkwardness and leaned over to Liu Xiangru's ear, whispering, "These two kids are young and energetic, so it's normal for them to be a little more active in that area."

Liu Xiangru's face flushed with embarrassment. She turned and glared at Zhou Mo and Han Chen: "I told you two are up to no good."

Han Chen stepped forward and blocked Zhou Mo behind him, hiding her embarrassment. "Aunt Liu, don't blame Momo. This was all my idea. It's because I have a strong desire that..."

“…”

“…”

Both mothers looked shocked.

Han Chen performed with great strength: as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

Now that he said so, what can Liu Xiangru say?

"Put it away quickly." Liu Xiangru turned her face away awkwardly.

"Okay," Han Chen responded, quickly picked up the cardboard box and put it back in the bedroom closet.

Taking advantage of Han Chen's absence, Liu Xiangru raised her eyes and glared at Zhou Mo fiercely.

"I've already told your father about this," Liu Xiangru said, "Afterwards...you and Han Chen, you should explain it to him yourselves."

Zhou Mo's heart sank to the bottom of the sea again.

Before one wave subsides, another wave arises.

After putting his things down, Han Chen put his hands behind his back and walked forward hesitantly.

"Mom, Aunt Liu," Han Chen said, "Momo and I are not as unruly as you think. We... have already obtained the marriage certificate..."

As he spoke, he took out the two people's red books from behind him, spread them out and placed them on the coffee table.

"What?!" Liu Xiangru was surprised and her pupils trembled.

Even Liang Xinyun was speechless for a moment.

"Is it true?" Liang Xinyu immediately picked up the red book on the coffee table and checked it.

Liu Xiangru quickly asked for one and wanted to check it too.

After the two carefully looked at the marriage certificate and checked the stamp on it, they looked at each other in surprise.

"This...this, this, this...how could you get the certificate without us knowing?" Liu Xiangru said anxiously.

"I see the time when you got the certificate - Han Chen, you had just returned to Dongjiang not long ago." Liang Xinyun questioned.

"Well," Han Chen said frankly, "part of the reason I returned to Dongjiang was because of Momo, so... I proposed marriage when she was depressed after breaking up with Yu Yizhou. This was all my own idea and had nothing to do with Momo. I took advantage of her misfortune..."

"How can it have nothing to do with Momo?" Liu Xiangru asked, "If she didn't agree, could you have gotten married?"

"Mom," Zhou Mo stepped forward, "Marriage is originally a matter between two people. I also agreed to get the marriage certificate with Han Chen. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

"You..." Liu Xiangru was furious. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She just threw the marriage certificate gently on the coffee table. "Wait until your father comes and see what he says to you."

Zhou Zheng heard the news and rushed over.

Han Chen and Zhou Mo each sat on a small stool, with their backs to the TV and facing their two mothers.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw two red books on the coffee table.

"Dad..." Zhou Mo stammered.

Zhou Zheng held down his hand, signaling her to stop.

"Old Zhou, tell me what to do about this."

Zhou Zheng walked to the coffee table, picked up the two marriage certificates, and confirmed their authenticity first.

Then he walked towards Liu Xiangru silently and sat beside her.

"Just say something," Liu Xiangru urged.

"What's there to say?" Zhou Zheng gently threw the marriage certificate onto the coffee table. "I guessed it a long time ago."

"Hmm?" Liu Xiangru asked in confusion.

"I'm not talking about the marriage," Zhou Zheng glanced at Zhou Mo and Han Chen, "I'm talking about them living together."

"How do you know?" Liu Xiangru was surprised.

"Momo used to have weekends off, so she never missed home. Ever since Han Chen came back, look at her. How many times a month has she come back?" Zhou Zheng looked at Liang Xinyun again. "Han Chen's mother, you already knew about these two kids being together, right?"

Liang Xinyun was afraid that Zhou Mo's parents would misunderstand her as an accomplice and lose their trust, so she quickly said, "I didn't know they were married. Han Chen really went too far and was not polite. On Han Chen's behalf, I apologize to you first."

"Alright," Zhou Zheng sighed slightly. "Han Chen let it slip yesterday when he came to apologize. If we were really those old-fashioned parents who called every day to check on us, would you really have gotten away with it? Things have come to this point... Let's meet with the parents as soon as possible and arrange the wedding while we're at it."

Zhou Mo and Han Chen looked at each other, obviously not expecting Zhou Zheng's attitude to change so quickly.

"Dad," Zhou Mo was both moved and relieved.

"You little girl," Zhou Zheng glanced at her gently, "you have eyes for me as your father, and you're hiding this from us?"

Zhou Mo bit his lip, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed.

She could only move over and sit next to Zhou Zheng, shaking his arm and coquettishly saying, "Dad, you're the best. You definitely won't care about these things, right?"

Zhou Zheng was helpless. "Alright, alright, you're at it again. Hey, who made me your father? We've already got the marriage certificate, what else can we as parents say? Live a good life with Han Chen from now on, okay?"

"Yeah," Zhou Mo responded with a giggle, his heart already filled with joy.

Seeing that Zhou Zhengdu had no objections, Liang Xinyun immediately pulled Liu Xiangru aside and said, "Sister Xiangru, don't worry. From now on, I will definitely treat Momo like my own daughter. If Han Chen makes her angry or wronged, I will be the first to disagree and will definitely teach him a lesson as soon as possible. Besides, it's a happy thing that the two children have received their marriage certificate. Let's go to Century Garden tonight and I will prepare a nice table for everyone to celebrate. These two children... It's been very hard to keep it a secret for such a long time. I guess they must be very tormented, right, Momo?"

"Yeah, yes," Zhou Mo nodded repeatedly. She looked past Zhou Zheng and shook Liu Xiangru's arm. "Mom, when I called to ask if you were free that evening, I actually wanted to find a time to be honest with you about getting the marriage certificate."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Liu Xiangru asked.

"Before...Yu Yizhou's mess was enough to upset my dad. He didn't like Han Chen that much at the time. I was afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it if he knew."

"Now you say his heart can handle it?" Liu Xiangru snorted lightly, very proudly, "You only care about your father's heart can't handle it, and don't you consider whether I can handle it or not."

"Mom~" Zhou Mo stepped over Zhou Zheng and sat between him and Liu Xiangru.
